Food your guests will still be talking about at the next family party.
Tamales at the reception, a rehearsal dinner that feels like home, or the late-night snack that comes out when the band is on its last set. Chicken in green salsa and pork in red salsa by the dozen, ordered online for your date, delivered anywhere from Richardson to McKinney to Dallas or picked up at our Plano kitchen.
Four moments in a celebration
Rehearsal dinner
Pork and chicken tamales by the dozen, served family-style. Relaxed, generous, and nobody is carving anything.
At the reception
Tamales alongside the main menu, or as the main menu. Order the dozens online and let the venue or your helpers set them out.
Late-night snack
Hot tamales at ten o’clock, warmed in the husk by the venue kitchen or your helpers. The Texas reception tradition guests love most. Read why it works.
The quinceañera
Two hundred guests, three generations, and a menu that respects the tradition. See quinceañera food ideas.
Tradition on the table, and a host who gets to enjoy the party.
For many families in North Texas, a celebration without tamales is not a celebration. The trouble is that making them for two hundred people takes two days and every pot in the house. We take that part. The recipe is the one our own family cooks from, the masa is gluten-free and made fresh, and every tamal is wrapped by hand.
Because tamales hold heat in the husk, they survive the gap between the ceremony and the meal, the toasts that run long, and the late-night rush. And because they come by the dozen, a guest list that grows by twenty is two more dozens, not a crisis.
- Mixed fillings. Half pork, half chicken is the usual split for a big family crowd.
- Order ahead. Pick your date in the online store; next day orders must be received and confirmed by us before noon the previous day.
- Delivery or pickup. Have them delivered, or pick them up at our Plano kitchen; the address and pickup time come with your order confirmation.

How do we serve tamales as a late-night snack?
Have the tamales delivered or pick them up earlier in the day, and let the venue kitchen or your helpers warm them in the husk before they go out. Our guide on how to reheat tamales has the details.
